GUWAHATI: An EVM and mobile van exhibition to promote voter awareness was inaugurated at the Kamrup Metropolitan District Commissioner’s office in Guwahati by District Commissioner Swapneel Paul.

Mobile vans were deployed across all five Assembly constituencies of the district to conduct voter awareness programmes at polling stations and public places, with a special focus on young and first-time voters in coordination with Electoral Literacy Clubs.

An EVM demonstration centre was also set up at the District Commissioner’s office for public participation. Election Officer Manas Jyoti Bora, Additional District Commissioner Kankan Sharma, master trainers, and district officials were present during the inauguration.
